What’s my chance of lung cancer?

Welcome @windywinland79, I hope your biopsy went well today.
When I was originally diagnosed, in 2020, I had a loss of appetite from the cancer, but not until I was pretty sick and struggling to breath. You've already received some great advice/comments here.
Please know that we're all hoping that it's not cancer, but we also know that it can happen to anyone. While you wait for those test results, try to take comfort in the fact that your medical team seems to be taking this seriously, and are taking the right steps to find the root cause of your issues.
Was the biopsy done via a bronchoscopy? Did the scans show any other areas of concern, lymph nodes, or sites outside the lung?

@lls8000 hello just getting back with you. Yes it was done by the robot assisted bronchoscopy and unfortunately I am positive for no small cell cancer, but at least it’s not small cell. My teams next steps are for me to do a couple rounds of treatment and then he said he wants to go in and take that left upper lobe of my lung out. That’s where the tumor is. My team is very confident that we can get this out of me. I had a very rough day yesterday after the procedure and was feeling pretty rough but today I’m up and moving and I feel pretty good and yes, I am very fortunate to have a very good team. My doctor stays on top of everything and he doesn’t keep me waiting when I go to see him and he doesn’t sugarcoat anything but they’re pretty amazing and I’m so fortunate to have him!
